TERRITORIAL ADMISSION.

The house committee on territories have
reported favorably the bill to provide for
the formation and admission into the union
the territories of Washington and Montana.
The following amendments were SUBMIT
ed by the committee:
The constitutional convention of said
territories shall incorporate in the pro-
posed constitutions the following provis-
ions.
Section /. The marriage relation by con-
tract or in fact between n person of eth
er sex and more than one person of the
other sex, shall be deemed polygamy. No
polygamy or any polygamous celebration
shall be lawful in any place within the
jurisdiction of this state.
Section 5. The legislature of the state
shall not make or enforce any law which
shall allow %polygamy or any polygamous
constellation or association between the
sexes, but shall prohibit the same by law
within the jurisdiction Of the state and de-
clare by law q punishment therefor.
Section 6 embraces Mr.. Springer's
amendment providing that the results of
the election shall be submitted to congress
for its approval, rather than the president.
This will result in the usual delays Incl
dent to fighting the measure through con-
gress again.
Concerning Montana. the committee says
in its report. No census has been taken
since 1880, but the rapid increase of pop
ulation can be determined by the votes
cast at the elections held for electing a
delegate to congress in 1894 and 1886.
These tables, by the usual calculation,
would give Montana 151,472 population,
and when we take into consideration the
large non-voting population of the terrific
ry engaged in mining at places remote
from voting precincts, and also the large
number of persons who have not resided
in the territory long enough to become
citizens, it would seem that Montana claims
a larger population than the ratio of pop
ulation in congress. With 1000 miles OF
additional railroad under construction,
every town of Importance in the territory
will have within d year ample railroad ia
It is easy to conceive the impetus
that such an expenditure of money will
give to business, as we'll as the cheap and
easy mode of conveyance given to emf
grants seeking new fields of enterprise.
The committees figures give the total area
of Montana in square miles at 1875, or
920, 126, 1000 acres. The number of acres,
exclusive of the Indian and military res
ervations, is 81 ,422, 600, of which 16,o00,-
600 were surveyed up to the close of 1888;
20. 500. 600 of this land was granted to the
Northern Pacific railroad, and the railroad
has surveyed up to December, 1883, 5,71e,-
900 acres. The total valuation of the prop
erty assessed for taxation is increased
from ,3o6 in 1881 to $~55,076.S71 in
1886. The rate of taxation is about is
mills on the dollar, but these estimates do
not embrace the mining districts Of the
territory which are exempt from taxation
under the law, nor does it include 1000
miles OF railroad in successful operation.
It is fair to conclude that the total valu-
alton Of assessable property at this time is

AS TO MANUFACTURES.

Apropos to the article from the pen
of Col. Wheeler, published on another
page, and in view of the fact that Great
Falls is, by reason of its natural advant-
ages and tributary resources, destined to
become the manufacturing center Of Mon
tana and the Northwest, it will be we'll to
state what works can be established here
that will insure the foundation for its fu-
ture prosperity and the building up of
the different branches Of manufacture.
TX
The most important industry Of Mon
tana is that of mining, and since the dis
covery of gold in the early sixties, she
has contributed to the wealth Of the oun
try between $500, 100000 and 100000,
900 in precious metals, the reduction and
refining of the bulk Of which, has been
done in the east.
*
The erection of works here for the
treatment of ores, or a scale of mag
nstude commensurate with the needs of
the industry, will form the sure founda-
ton for the future of Great Falls.
***
Nature has placed at her command the
greatest available motive power on the
continent and surrounded it by i~nexhaust-
ible deposits of coking coal, iron ore,
lime and other luxes necessary for the
successful treatment of all classes Of
ores in the territory.
*
The erection of such works at this
point is not one Of uncertainty, but an es-
tablished fact, and with their completion,
the mining industry of Montana will de-
svelope to double in present proportions.
TX
The treatment of the iron ore found in
practically unlimited quantities around
us, and the manufacturing of steeel rails,
and heavy machinery for use about our
mines will necessarily follow.
*
These two great industries are Of vast
Importance, and with the development
of the country, and our natural advantag-
es, will draw around them other manufac-
turing industries.
~
There can be no doubt as to the early
c~onsumation of those projects. Capital,
though cautious. eagerly grasps a safe in
vestment, and in this instance, ample cap
ital is already enlisted to carry forward
these great enterprises with unnecessary
delay.
~
With the settlement of the country
surrounding the headwaters of the Mis-
souri, and its tributaries, the milling ia
dustry will also spring into prominence.
*
There can be no doubt as to the adapt
ability of the soil of Northern Montana
for the successful production of wheat,
and with a direct outlet to the seaboard,
Montana flour will be found in the mar
kets of the East and Europe.

there is nothing to encourage any feeling
of distress as to the condition of our hardy
native cattle or those who have wintered
here.

The Worlds Rulers.

An European paper figures that the
Christian monarchical world counts
among its combined reigning families
40S Princes. If the female contingent
was taken into account, this figure
would almost be doubled. The most
fourishing dynasty is that of Holstein,
which holds the thrones of Russia,
Denmark, Greece, and Oldenburg, and
numbers fifty-three Princes, including
twenty-five Grand Dukes, two Kings,
and an Emperor. Next to it is the
House of Stettin, uniting the royal
crowns of Saxony, Great Britain, Por-
tugal, and Belgium, besides the Ducal
and Grand Ducal scepters of Weimar,
Altenburg, Coburg-G otha, and Mein n
gin. The Bourbons, with their forty
seven Princes, have held Sicily, Parma,
and Spain. More numerous than the
Holenzollerns, the Hesses, and the
House of Savoy are the Imperial Haps-
burg Lorraine, with their thirty-three
Archdukes, and the old race Of Wittels-
bach, numbering twenty-uhree Princes
of or in Bavaria, distinction to which
great importance is attached. The once
reigning families mediatiZed since the
Congress in Vienna in 1915 are repre-
scented by 724 Princes, and these have
retained but small portion of their
priv leges. The Hapsburgs and the
Wittelsbachs are closely allied, not
merely because they belong to the leu
tonic race, and flourish on the same
German soil, but because for many
years and generations they have con-
stantly intermarried. The lovely EN-
press Elizabeth of Austria is the daugh-
ter Of Duke Macmillan of Bavaria, and
her daughter Gisela is the wife of
Prince Leopold, cousin of the present
King and nephew of the Regent.

PATHS Autograph Hobby.

Autograph collecting is one of the
most harmless as we'll as the most in
teresting of hobbies, and when cele-
brated person takes to keeping an al
bum of autographs collection of more
than usual value is likely to be the re-
suit. 1t is not generally known that
among others who share this weakness
is that greatest of singers, Nine AIDE
lini Patti. For many years past no
friend of any distinction has been per-
mitted to pass the threshold of the
prima donna until he or she has written
a few words either upon Nine. Patti
herself or upon some other subject OF
interest. The consequence is that the
signatures of almost every notability
both in and outside of the musical
world are to be found in one of her al
buns, while, besides these, are many
letters of well-known composers and
musicians which Nine. Patti has had
presented to her or has herself pur-
chased. Among these are letters from
Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and other
illustrious ones.

The Small Roy,S GIee.

Boys have but little mind" in them
any time. The little sister had retired
to rest and the family were in the par.
lor, when there came a call from up
stairs. The child smelled smoke; they
all did. Somebody went out to ring
the alarm, while the others hunted for
the fire. They could not find any, but
at last they traced the smoke to cor
ner of the child's room. The engine
arrived, and the men came piling up
stairs. The small boy of the family
was in fever of delight. He was ex-
aiming the hose and chopping things
with the axes, for there wasn't any very
bad fire, and it took time to get at it.
They found burning joist, set on fire
by the neighbours furnace. The little
boy meanwhile was talking to some of
the disengaged firemen.
"Say," he said, "if there should be a
big fire here, and you want to save
things, please don't save my winter
fannels, for they tickle me.-Sd1l
